    I've always been looking at the dots and arrows at the foul line, whether it's going straight up 10 or when I have to go 30 to 10. When something goes wrong it's in my wrist position and/or release.

    I also know that Wes Mallot is a foul line bowler as well.

    I think it's been said that Mallot starts with his eyes on his intended break point and then brings his focus back along the intended ball path to the foul line. I forget whether he changes his focus before starting to move or while he's moving. The important thing is that he has visualized or imagined the entire shot before executing it.

    ESPN & CBS broadcasts have showed his approach in slow mo a few times, and you can see his eyes looking down towards the foul line when he's getting ready to release.

    You can probably find a few of those on youtube as well.

    The only time I felt like I was falling off was when I was getting used to finishing my slide an 1" or 2 to the foul line. I used to finish 6 to 7" to the foul line. Finishing closer to the foul line makes the lanes look shorter, thus making targets/areas I use closer.

    I have recently switched from looking at the fowl line to looking at the arrows. spotting at the arrows gets me through the heads better and a more consistent shot. Especially with the stronger balls today. Steve

    I spot my breakpoint as I get set and as I start my approach I trace the trajectory back and at release I'm looking just past the foul line.
